Red Arrows impress in dazzling display at Swansea Airshow

The famous Royal Airforce Aerobatic Team were the highlight of a stunning two days of aeronautical entertainment to hail the beginning of July.

The Swansea Airshow came to the famous Swansea Bay on July 1 and 2 and we were there for the first day along with thousands of families, visitors and airplane enthusiasts who flocked to the free event.

The Red Arrows put on an incredible display for over 20 minutes as they flew in formations, zoomed towards eachother in the sky and finished by drawing an enormous love heart in the sky in memory of three-year-old Morgan Ridler, from Swansea, who tragically died after battling cancer.

There was also the fearsome Typhoon fighterjet on display, which has the capability to break the sound barrier at speeds of over 1,300mph.

There was one disappointment, with the Tigers Parachute Display cancelling their jump onto Swansea beach as the wind picked up in the afternoon, but there was more than enough to keep the crowds entertained, including the majestic Lancaster Bomber.
